Parent Guide

HOW TO REGISTER

All athletes must be registered here in order to participate.
Registration reminders are sent out by the district and coach prior to the start of each season.
An updated physical is required to participate.

SPortsyou

SportsYou is our communication platform we use to keep coaches, parents and athletes connected. Download the app and check with coaches for a passcode to join. Parents and athletes should have separate accounts.

transportation release

Does your child plan to ride home from practice or a meet with another family? You will need a completed Seasonal Transportation Release. Forms are available in the files section of SportsYou.

practice schedule

Meeting spot will be the PHS track Monday-Friday at 3:30 p.m. unless otherwise notified.
Practice is not canceled unless there is a communication sent from one of the coaches in the SportsYou app.
Team members are to be suited up for practice and at the designated meeting spot on time.
Tardiness is disruptive to the entire team’s training. Team members who are tardy must have a note from the teacher who detained them.

Meet schedule

A schedule will be posted at the start of the season.
The season is a combination of league competitions during the school week and “invitational” events on Saturdays or Sundays.
The coaches will determine who will represent PHS in competition. This will be a reflection who performs best from meet to meet, and may change over time.
Bus transportation from PHS to and from meets is provided for almost all meets.
Camaraderie and team motivation are the hallmarks of a successful program. We ask that all runners travel to and from the meet on the team bus whenever possible.

attendance/ABSENCES

Approved absences include:

Sickness
Special exams, tests, or overlapping seasons
Emergency appointments (doctor, dentist, court appearance)
Funeral
Unusual situations which will be given consideration by coaches if they are made aware of the situation prior to the season (emphasis added, "day of" does not count)

Unapproved absences include:

Failure to inform coaches in advance of an absence, regardless of the reason
"I'm tired."
Social functions (birthdays, visiting relatives etc...)
"I have too much homework."
Three (3) unexcused absences from practices/meets will result in dismissal from the team.

Club Sports/Conflicting Non-School Activities

Pleasantville Athletics clearly spells out its position on participating in conflicting non-school activities:

While the coaches, administration, and faculty do recognize that each student should have the opportunity for a broad range of experiences, it is recommended that student-athletes do not participate, practice, or play with an outside team, program, or work during the high school season.

Missing practice and/or meets for such activities will constitute an unexcused absence.

volunteer opportunities

There will be many opportunities for parent involvement before and during the season.
We will use www.signupgenius.com to organize volunteer activities for the season.
